Hotel E
This hotel couldn’t be in a more perfect location. It is literally in the city center square next to restaurants, etc. The room was lovely and clean, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. I highly recommend this hotel.

Art House Hotel and Suites
We had a very nice stay at Art House Hotel and Suites in Santa Rosa. We selected Art House because it was dog-friendly and had great reviews. The hotel looks very basic from the outside and lobby. Check-in was fast, and the person who helped us was very nice. Our room and bathroom were very clean ...
